Purpose: To evaluate the formation of cartilage-like tissue engineered constructs (TECs) using human osteoarthritic chondrocytes overexpressed with SOX9 gene seeded on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with and without fibrin scaffolds through cartilaginous genes expression analysis. Methods: Upon approval by the IREC18; NMRR-12-1383-14531 and I

Oxadiazole is amongst the important classes of heterocyclic compounds that is the subject of intensive study of modern drug discovery. Synthesis of drugs containing oxadiazole moiety is attracting widespread attention due to their wide range of biological activities. In the present study, we developed a simple synthesis procedure for para-substitut

An international study showed nurses were indeed experienced in various ethical issues. Major theories central to nursing ethics, which are deontology and utilitarian perspective, highlight the importance of human reasoning alone, and the efficiency can still be argued. As Muslim nurse, equipping themselves with the Islamic manner of spirit is cruc

The present work deals with the formulation of bio-materials namely carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for bio-polymer blend electrolytes (BBEs) system which was successfully carried out with different ratio of polymer blend. The biopolymer blend was prepared via economical & classical technique that is solution casting t

This paper focuses on the numerical solution of free convection boundary layer flow past a horizontal circular cylinder in non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid. The impact of viscous dissipation is discussed. The non-dimensional variables and non-similar transformations are implemented to transform the dimensional partial differential equations into two non

Background: Knowledge on under-five childhood immunization has been identified as a key factor in determining understanding and compliance to the schedule. Understanding the current levels of knowledge and introducing a health intervention to improve the level will benefit the population to be healthier and reduce morbidity. Methods: A quasi-experi

Aims: This research focused on the selection of potential strains especially bacteria that can grow effectively in palm kernel cake (PKC) and produce high amount of thermostable and solvent tolerant (TS-OST) lipase. The work involved the exploration of renewable PKC as potential fermentation medium for discovery to novel TS-OST lipase that would ha

Research has increasingly investigated the role of attitudes toward reading and language learning, and how it might be different in boys and girls. This paper reports on an investigation of Malaysian elementary school students’ attitudes toward reading in the English language as perceived by their teachers. In-depth information of teachers’ per

Haze episode has always becomes the one of the common reasons for emergency closing of school. Unique approach had been used to collect and examine the toxic metal of the respirable and inhalable dust by combining the latest personal cyclone and seven-hole head sampler together with the latest spectrometer of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectro

This article presents the community awareness on the implementation of Early Warning System (EWS) in a well-planned Integrated Community-Based Disaster Management (ICBDM) that covers all Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s (TNB) hydroelectric schemes. In Cameron Highland, Lembah Bertam and further downstream villages were reported to have the highest occurr
